Sunflower Birthday

I was digging through my "card parts" box the other day, looking for some quick cards material. I found this sunflower image already colored. (I believe it was colored with Bic markers.)


I matted the image with black cardstock and added a thin strip of black behind it, too. The image panel is mounted on Pop Dots. The background paper is from my Recollections pad. The sentiment is from a small Papertrey set.


I hope everyone (in the US) has been enjoying their long weekend.

For my card, I stamped the image three times on white and colored the images with Bic markers. I punched a border from red with a Martha Stewart punch and added it, along with some scored lines, to the image panel. Then I matted with red.

"You're So Tweet"

I have so many cards to make for November, a few more Christmas cards, and about 13 calendars. However, I've been having a great time digging through my "Cards Parts" box! I have several cards to share with you - I've made 12 in the past few days! Some will have their own day and others will be doubled up:)


For this one, my card parts were the embossed background and the Nestability matting. I added the image and sentiment - from Fiskars. I colored the image with Bic markers. The background was done with a Fiskars texture plate. First I inked it up with white ink and then did the embossing. The image panel is mounted on Dimensionals.

Birds and Flowers - Last Two for Church

Here are the last two cards I made for our church's Lutefisk dinner craft sale. (The other two new ones are remakes of ones that have already been on my blog.) The main image stamp for these cards is one I got in the dollar bin at Michael's a while back. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp an entire row of them. Then I colored them with Bic markers and cut the strip in half for the two cards. I added the scoring with my Scor-Pal. The matting is from Stampin' Up! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

The sentiment on this one is from the dollar bin, too.


Today is also the first day of the new Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week. This week's stamp, available for 50% off through next Sunday, is Frankenstein Face. You can find it on this page.
